'''Nimloth''' was the White Tree which grew in the [[King's Court]] in [[Armenelos]] of [[Númenor]]. It was brought as a gift by the [[Eldar]] from [[Tol Eressëa]], in the form of a seedling from [[Celeborn (White Tree)|Celeborn]] as a symbol of friendship between the two races. Its blossoms appeared as the [[Sun]] set, and their perfume filled the night in [[Númenor]]'s royal city.

'''Nimloth''' was the [[White Tree]] that grew in the [[King's Court]] of [[Númenor]]. It was burned at the instigation of [[Sauron]]. [[Isildur]] stole a fruit from the tree before it was destroyed, which he later planted in the courts of [[Minas Tirith]].

Soon after {{SA|3262}}, it was cut at the instigation of [[Sauron]] and his wood used to lit the first flames in the fire of the new religion which worshipped [[Morgoth|Melkor]].

However, the night before [[Isildur]] stole a fruit from the tree and when he escaped the [[Downfall of Númenor]] he took it with him towards [[Middle-earth]]. The fruit grew into a seedling that Isildur carried to [[Middle-earth]] with him during the [[Downfall of Númenor]]. That seedling was planted in [[Minas Ithil]], and was destroyed before the end of the [[Second Age]]. Its seedling in turn grew into the first [[White Tree of Minas Tirith]].
